Abstract (en)

A method (700, 800) is provided for controlling an induction welding operation. The method includes sweeping (702, 802) electrical current through an induction welding coil at an initial position of the induction welding coil along a weld path of a material; monitoring (704, 804) a response of the material to the swept electrical current using at least one electromagnetic field (EMF) sensor; calibrating (706, 806) an electrical current value for the induction welding operation using the monitored response; and performing (708, 808) the induction welding operation along the weld path using the calibrated electrical current value.
